Otto’s Revenge celebrates 25 years since its founding.

Otto’s Revenge is an American punk/alternative band founded in St. Louis in 1989 by Jerry Morgenthaler and Kurt Hoffmann. The band was active in the St. Louis music scene originally from 1989 through 1997, producing 3 records and playing countless live shows.

The band is also notable for curating and producing The Guide to Fast Living compilation series of St. Louis area punk and alternative bands in the 1990s. The compilations gave greater exposure to local bands while also raising awareness of Kids Under Twenty One (KUTO), a helpline for teens: http://www.kuto.org

In August 2014, the band reunited and immediately began writing new material.

Current lineup includes:

Jeff Boedeker – bass

Steve Dachroeden – drums
